Yellow watermelons can vary greatly in size, shape and colour depending upon variety.

Whether round or oblong, they usually exhibit the standard bright green outer rind striped with darker green markings. The flesh can range from pale yellow to deep gold and may contain large brownish black seeds or be completely seedless.

While their succulent and crisp texture is comparable to other standard red watermelons, their flavour is usually much sweeter offering notes of honey and apricot.

Like other watermelons, the yellow variety is composed of almost 90 percent water, offering a good supply of vitamins A and C and potassium.
